External Scholarship Opportunities

A curated, regularly verified list of scholarships run by universities, governments and foundations around the world.

These are not AfroScholars scholarships. We list them because they are worth knowing about, but the awarding body runs its own process and you apply on their site. For scholarships you apply to directly on this platform, see our AfroScholars scholarships page.

Every listing shows who is offering the award, where it lets you study, the level and field it covers, what it is worth and when it closes. Searching and browsing are free and need no account.

Each entry records when we last checked it against the provider's own page, so a listing marked verified is one we have confirmed rather than copied. Awards whose deadline has passed are shown as closed rather than quietly removed, so you can tell a cycle you missed from one that never existed.

The full details — eligibility criteria, nationality and academic requirements, tuition and living-allowance breakdown, application fees, the document checklist and the direct application link — are free too, but they need an account.
